Architect, designer and artist Fritz Haeg will discuss his Edible Estates
and Animal Estates projects. Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn, a
book chronicling Haeg's commissioned conversions of standard sod lawns
into productive gardens, was published by Metropolis Books and
distributed by D.A.P. in spring 2008. Animal Estates, featured in the
2008 Whitney Biennial, includes sculptural installations and performances
which engage and temporarily restore the current and historical habitats
of wild creatures. In addition to these projects, Fritz Haeg has since
2001 hosted the Sundown Salon, a forum for “events, happenings,
gatherings, meetings, pageantry, performances, shows, stunts &
spectacles”; and since 2006, the Sundown Schoolhouse, a “self-organized
educational environment.” Sponsored by the IHC's Food Matters series and
the Department of Art Symposium Series.
